Answer:

paramagnetic

Explanation:

The complex ion is : [Cr(CN)₆]³⁻

Oxidation state of Cr in [Cr(CN)₆]³⁻ is:

x + (-1)6 = -3

x = +3

CN⁻ is a strong field ligand which can result in  pairing of the electrons.

The electronic configuration of Cr is:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁵4s¹

The electronic configuration of Cr³⁺ is:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d³

<u>These 3 electrons will be singly present in the 3 degenerate t₂g orbitals and per Hund's rule, pairing will not occur in the same level energy orbitals. So , no. of unpaired electrons will be 3 and the complex will be paramagnetic.</u>

The building block of a nucleic acid, consisting of a five-carbon sugar covalently bonded to a nitrogenous base and a phosphate
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Nucleotides

Explanation:

Nucleotides are the organic molecules which serve as monomer units for the formation of nucleic acid polymers which are the deoxyribonucleic acid and the ribonucleic acid (RNA) and both are the essential biomolecules within the life on the Earth.

Nucleotides are building blocks of the nucleic acids. They are the molecules which are composed of three sub units which are:  

  • Nitrogenous base which is also called as nucleobase
  • Five-carbon sugar  which can be ribose or deoxyribose
  • At least one phosphate group which is attached to the sugar.

Estimate the standard internal energy of formation of liquid methyl acetate (methyl ethanoate, ch3cooch3) at 298 k from its stan
LenKa [72]

solution:

the reaction for formation of methyl acetate is\\CH_{3}OH+CH_{3}COOH----------->CH_{3}COOCH_{3}+H_{2}O\\standard internal energy \\\delta u=\delta H -\delta(pv)=\delta H -\delta n\times RT\\where \delta n=change in number of moles=0\\\delta u=\delta H\\=-442kj/mol
